WAS WOODSTOCK HIPPIE HEAVEN OR A BIG, SMELLY, PROFITABLE MESS?
THIS WEEKEND is the 40th anniversary of Woodstock which, of course,
has everybody in a tizzy.
There's been a million articles, countless commemorative CDs and about
a dozen books released this year marking the anniversary of history's
most legendary four-day concert, attended by half a million people, or
a million people, or 200,000, depending on whose version you believe
( I didn't count ). But everyone seems to agree it happened on a farm in
upstate New York and there was live, non-polka music.
Of course, Woodstock has been billed as one of rock music's defining
moments, as well as one of the last great pop culture signposts of the
'60s, until Altamont, the Beatles and Ali MacGraw's acting in "Love
Story" ruined everything.
